Love INC hosts community event

Monday evening a brief meeting at the high school cafeteria was conducted, bringing together approximately fifty people representing the community churches, the community at large, and the organization of Love INC, a non-profit organization being established here in Whitehall for the purpose of coordinating the efforts of local churches and agencies to provide help to those members of our community who are experiencing difficulties in meeting basic needs.

During the evening, several presentations were made, highlighting how these needs can affect individuals.

The process of establishing the organization here in Whitehall was discussed and recognition given to the Development Board, especially to Leslie Alley, who has been instrumental in bringing together the people and resources necessary to actually establish an office location and obtain funding to hire an Executive Director. Members of the Development Board, and the new Governing Board expressed their appreciation for the vision that Mrs. Alley has held for several years and for her determination to make this resource available to the community as a whole.

Although no firm date has been announced, it is generally accepted that Love INC will be in operation early in the second quarter of this year.
